when our defense spending is being arbitrarily and deeply cut, when we have no trade agenda to speak of, and the perception of our strategy is not one of partnership but of passiveity. the greater tragedy of it all is we're missing an historic opportunity to win new friends who share our values in the middle east, friends who are fighting for their own futures against the very same violent extremists and evil tyrantsnd angry mobs that seek to harm us. unfortunately so many of these people that could be our friends feel that our president is indifferent to their quest for freedom and dignity. as one syrian woman put it, we will not forget that you forgot about us. it is time to change course in the middle east. that course should be organized around these bedrock principles. america must have confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might. no friend of america will question our commitment to support them. no enemy that attacks america will question our resolve to defeat them. no one anywhere, friend or foe, will doubt america's capability to back up our word

i'll make the critical defense investment that is we need to remain secure. the decisions we make today will determine our ability to protect america tomorrow. >> so we just spoke with general spider marks who says that in some ways americans aren't inclined make those kinds of serious cuts to our defense. what is the campaign's response? >> the cuts that romney was referring to are what would kick in with sequestration. that is, if the congress fails to reach a budget deal, these across the board cuts would kick in. the president is on record as opposing those. secretary panetta is on record opposing those. no one wants those to happen. so that is not the plan of this president in any shape or form. what is the plan of this president is a plan that he devised with the full participation and support of the joint chiefs of staff and the combatant commanders, and it lays out a four-year defense plan that keeps our military, the best in the world, and keeps faith with the troops and their families. >> all right. we're going to have to leave it there, and obvious

her supporters chimed in, as well, to her defense. one tweet says all romney supporters, please follow and support real stacey dash, that's her handle. it appears she'll be voting for mitt romney and she's getting heat over this. one question i had about this was looking back at the 2008 primary between barack obama and hillary clinton, there were some high profile african-americans who supported hillary clinton. maya angelou one of them. and there wasn't this kind of backlash. so the question is, is this more about race and supporting someone other than the black candidate or is it more about the policy and supporting a republican white candidate? >> i think it's a little bit of both. when you relaflect back to the 2008 election, we're talking about two democrats and we know the the african-american community votes overwhelming for democratic candidates. 90%. but it 's also race. and you saw that in the twitter feeds. that stacey dash being african-american was getting particular vitt reol and viciousness because of that. and you rea

factors in his eyes is that he does not feel as though he received enough time to put forth an adequate defense. he felt as though he was rushed through the process, and that's going to be one of the grounds for his appeals. you speak to a number of analysts in that way and they feel as though he's pretty much on thin ice with that type of appeal. but once again, you listen to the radio address, that radio address, that statement really seemed to strike a number of people the wrong way. not just the victims, the victims' attorneys, but the judge himself, judge cleland, one final quote here he said, said the tragedy of this crime is that it is a betrayal. he said it is a crime not just to their bodies, but to their psyche and to their soul. he made it very clear he had also taken into account not just dottie sandusky's letter she had written on behalf of her husband, but also took into account that radio statement that jerry sandusky gave late yesterday. >> jason carol, we appreciate all your reporting there. just to point out to our viewers, we're seeing pictures of jerry sandusky and underneat
